CVE-2021-0979
In isRequestPinItemSupported of ShortcutService.java, there is a possible cross-user leak of packages in which the default launcher supports requests to create pinned shortcuts due to a permissions bypass.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.11%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
